The vaccination program offers a way out but its not an immediate option for removal of restrictions. It?s great that so many people have received the first dose of the vaccine but there is still some way to go.


Please be patient for a while yet and carry on observing social distancing / wearing a mask and washing your hands.


Two doses of the vaccination are needed and even then those vaccinated don?t have total immunity. They could still catch Covid but shouldn?t get as severely ill as they would without it. Yes we all want to see friends and relatives again but relax too soon and there could be another lockdown.


The usual illnesses and reasons for admission to hospital aren?t going away. Though admission because of falls will hopefully be down as less people are out in the ice and snow. Please think of those who need medical attention for something they couldn?t have avoided and the staff who will treat them. A bed in use for Covid is one that can?t be used for another patient. Maybe the Covid patient could have avoided catching Covid by observing social distancing leaving the bed / staff free for the person hit by a car on a zebra crossing. Social distancing while queueing might seem like its not that important but the effects don?t stop there.

    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use. 
    • Hello - if anyone is in need of sofa/rug/carpet cleaning, we have recently had a very good experience with husband and wife team Kate and Vlad. They're a very reasonable cost and the result was great (don't look too closely at the colour of the water that comes out!) Kate's number is 07731 140246
